To be honest I started writing this blog post a few weeks ago but then the incident with my sister happened and I never ended up finishing it. I thought I would jump back into it and share what I’ve been loving recently.

It’s been 14 days since Samantha’s brain injury. You can read about her first week HERE. I can’t believe the improvements she’s made since last week. She’s really fighting her way out of the fog. There’s no doubt that she’s an extremely strong person.

On Thursday February 13th at 6:40pm, my sister Samantha was involved in a road rage incident and has been fighting for her life ever since. Her story has been all over the news and she’s received a ton of positive support from the community. This crazy random thing that’s happened has left our family hurt, scared and emotionally drained. I’m going to update you all the best as I can since it’s been a full week since it happened.

Do you and your spouse celebrate your “date-iversary”? We don’t typically buy gifts or do anything over the top for it but we do like to acknowledge it. A “date-iversary” is the day you and your significant other started dating. Today is the day Cody and I started dating TEN YEARS AGO.

We will be celebrating our five year wedding anniversary this year too but how could we not celebrate the fact that we’ve been through 10 years of our life together!?

I CANNOT believe that I’ve been painting peg dolls for a full year! This hobby quickly turned into something bigger than I ever imagined it would be. I started posting pictures of the ones I made for my own kids and then the messages from other people came rolling in. Therefore, I decided to open an Etsy shop! I honestly didn’t know how well I’d do but I thought, hey, if I could get a couple orders a month that would be cool and it would give me something to do.

Hi! I’m Nicole, a wife to my sweet husband and a mommy to TWO sets of twins! Our hearts are full with two spunky blue eyed girls and the cutest baby boy girl duo. I love being a mamarazzi and capturing our every day moments. I am so glad you're here. Enjoy and stay awhile!
